Camping/Random

We took the kids camping for the first time ever! Ashley was way excited and asked why we were going to sleep outside! We decided to go up right fork road in hobble creek which is really close to springville where we live. It was only about a 40-60 min drive and we found a great place to camp! We can drove there before and knew before hand the area we wanted to camp at! It started to rain a little bit but there were lots of blue sky that we could see and it was not raining very much. We decided to get the tent up and get fire wood cut and get camp set! Right after getting the tent up it started to really really rain on us. We all ended up sitting in the tent for a hour or so waiting to see if it would stop. When it did we got the fire started and it started to rain again! It went on like this for several hours and we almost decided to take the tent down and load up and head home. We stuck it out and when it finally stopped raining for good it turned out to be a great night and we enjoyed roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire. The kids did not sleep very good at night but that ok for their first time camping! When we woke up in the morning Ashley was ready to go home. She said she was tired and wanted to sleep in her bed again! It took a lot just to get her to eat her breakfast and help us take down everything! It was a short camping trip but Ty and I enjoyed it and we were glad we were able to do it!

We were so glad we got to go and we look forward to going again maybe next year since school start next week for me and soon after that for Ty.

Here are a couple of cute pictures I took before church!
